Re: Best robots at Nationals

Thanks for all the kind words! I think we hung all but two times at the Champs. And actually, our robot is only 24" wide, so it is designed to fit between the goal and edge of the platform and lots of wheels in case it does hang over the edge. We actually tipped because we hit the goal and the robot continued it's autonomous operations and took a turn for the worst down the stairs. We were looking forward to attempting to block 233 (a great hanger!) but didn't get the chance. Consistency didn't come easy, but at least it did eventually!

As for great bots, I've have to say..

126- Man, they were outscoring people with small balls even with one robot dedicated to defend them! Also, they were one of few teams who had a skilled HP to match the ball-handling abilities of their robot. It was a deadly combination.

980- Awesome in AZ, awesome at the Championship. 190 is hoping we can partner with you if you come to Battlecry!

330- I love the challenge of someone with a similar strategy. Great robot!

And many more, but those are definitely 3 of my favorites from this year.
